Sydney’s famous Shakespeare Hotel in Surry Hills has been
sold for the first time in almost fifty years.
The ‘Shakey’ as the inner city icon is known was listed for sale by JLL
Hotels & Hospitality Group for the first time in five decades and it now
has a buyer.
The proud new owner is Laurence Collins and family who own
and operate the leasehold interest of The London Hotel in Balmain.
“This pub is incredibly important to the Surry Hills
community,” Mr Collins said as the sale was announced on Monday.
“Everyone has a story about the Shakey, and I just want to
carry forward the incredible legacy that Margaret [Hargreaves] has created.
“I am not intending to change the overall fabric of the
hotel, as this is what makes it special for everyone who visits.”
